For most of us there happily exists a middle pathway between the all good and the very bad, down which we can walk with helpfulness and ap-

It enables us to condemn others for not possessing the qualities that we ourselves lack, and to require from them standards of perfection that we best: personally cannot reach.
to
On the other hand, the grumbler often renders a valuable service the person criticised. We all tend. to take the line of least resistance and to grow satisfied with what is our second best: the grumbler often goads us to meet the criticism by putting into our task all our strength, when both the com- munity and ourselves are benefited.
The grumbler may .also render other services. He may draw atten- tion to social inequalities that can be removed, and in moments of crisis such as when we miss a train, he can comfort us by saying exactly what we feel.
But the grumbler is not always in- spired and he sometimes tires. me. Take, for example, his perpetual com- plains concerning the weather. The English climate, which is one of the best in the world, receives from him the shabbiest treatment. Yet what has he to grumble at? It never reaches extremes of either heat or cold, its equable rainfall ensures that our rivers never run dry. There is also nothing monotonous about it. We can prophesy anything we like concerning it, and it does not let us

Existing conditions, however, vide the grumbler with the oppor- tunity of a life-time. The material to his hand is overwhelming. There are the faults of the Government and the Opposition. Then there are the 11.20 black-out, the petrol restrictions and the ration cards. The income tax reduces him to angry incoherence and control is a bureaucratic outrage.
MAKES OTHERS MISERABLE This type of grumbler is the world's Number One Nuisance. He seems to desire to make others as miserable as himself. Yet I would not be wilnout him. He unpacks his heart of words, and with curses loud and deep he of- ten says what I feel in words which my impoverished vocabulary cannot command.

ARMY CAN
CLAIM
A.R.P. MEN
Sir John Anderson, Home Secretary and Minister for Home Security, can- not guarantee that key men in the ARP. services will be exempt from military service.
He told this to a private meeting at the House of Commons of the AR.P. Committee of MP.s, when a member suggested it would be unsatisfactory if decontamination, men, who must be fit, young and, fully trained, were: taken into the Army and their ser- vices lost.
The same applied to men in tele- phone control rooms.
Sir John replied that, unfortunate- ly, the Army would have to take that type of man, and we should have to train others gradually to take their places.
